I cannot stress enough that I did not write this, as much as I wish I had. The entire thing is quotes from Frankenstein (the book) and made into prose.

Whence did the principle of life proceed?
Alone
In on pursuit...
The pursuit of knowledge.
I found continual food for discovery and wonder
Alone
Labor and Fatigue
My soul occupation
The energy of my purpose alone sustained me.
When did the principle of life proceed?
Lifeless matter
Profane fingers
Food for the worms
Corruption of the body
From the midst of darkness, a sudden light broke in upon me.
Secret knowledge
The summit of my desires
Supreme delight
Alone
A slow fever
Nervous
Shunned
Guilty
I AM NOT
A MADMAN
